A Funny EE Capacity Moment with Friends
During the week of May 14th, Outdoor Afro’s Rue Mapp is grateful to participate in the EECapacity Project that assembles 60 national environmental education leaders in Washington, DC for training in environmental leadership, cultural capacity, and community building.
These leaders include a diverse mix of federal, private, and public organizations working to empower communities through environmental education and related programs that foster improved health and well being.
Check out our photos from our last meeting!
